United States historic place
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Maggie S. Myers is an oyster schooner, built in 1893 reportedly at Bridgeton, New Jersey. She is 50-foot-long (15 m) and all the framing is of white oak. The rigging was removed in the 1940s, when the vessel was converted to power. She is maintained and used for oyster dredging on the waters of the Delaware Bay.[2]

A similar oyster dredging schooner, the Katherine M. Lee, which is also listed on the NRHP, was also docked near Davidson St in Bowers Beach, Delaware.
